LP -12 Felt Plater Mat

I used a Herbie's Way Excellent Mat on my LP 12 with superb results.

I have a Goldmund Relief mat and clamp on my LP-12. I do not know if they are still available, but it is definitely an upgrade over the felt mat supplied.

if you use a mat other than the felt mat do you have to make any tone arm adjustments?

Hi Xagwell,

I have used Herbie's Way Excellent Mat, and would recommend it as a substantial improvement for the price. I am now using Living Voices carbon fiber mat, and it is better than the Herbie's. I am able to use a Mitchell record clamp with the Living Voices, but can just bearly engage the top of the spindle.

Good luck,

Mark

Xagwell...I think you might be pretty safe with the Non-felt mat, but all the others (Boston I'm positive) you have to change the VTA.
